Synopsis:

Coastal erosion of a sand dune threatened the integrity of the 11th green of the West Links Golf Course at North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland. EnviroCentre supported The North Berwick Golf Club by initially undertaking an options identification and appraisal in order to determine an appropriate solution for improving the dune’s resilience to coastal erosion before leading the planning and tendering processes and supervising the successful contractor on site. The preferred option was to reinstate the dune using NAUE’s Secutex Soft Rock sand-filled geotextile containers.

Speaker:

Neil Gordon is an Associate Director and chartered civil engineer at EnviroCentre with more than 20 years of experience in environmental consultancy. He was the project manager for the North Berwick Golf Club coastal erosion project and has continues to provide ongoing support to the Club post-construction. His experience includes Civil & Environmental Engineering (Coastal erosion protection, riverbank erosion protection, integrated green infrastructure, culvert daylighting, river restoration), Environmental Clerk of Works, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), flood risk assessments, drainage impact assessments, hydrology, water resources and hydropower schemes.
